The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1887-10-29

SIX hundred dollars, her carriage Dllls alone |
sometimes running to ten or fifteen dollars
day. When the landlord sent in his bill
she said her room had been robbed, and
instead of paying bill she expected hand
some damages. A detectlye was lmmedi-
ately put upon the case, and he had photo
graph of female swindler i'm his pocket,
who had set the goody city of Boston by
the ears, and the moment he set his wealth
er eye on the fascinating lady, he dscoy-
cred the Boston swindler. She was inn
mediately arrested and lodged in jail and
it then transpired that she had also stolen
silk dress. Things began to look squally
for Mrs. Hudson; but the people who
thought her hand was played out didn't
know that she held the joker and both
bowers in the person OF a very charming
daughter. My wasn't she pretty peaches
and cream with vanilla fayoring. When
her mother was brought up to the bar, the
daughter began to cry,the judge weakened,
the prosecution stuffed the papers In it's
pockets, the old court bailiff said he felt as
if he was choking, and took an extra chew
of tobacco and drink, and the result was
that she borrowed fifteen dollars of one Of
the prosecuting lawyers and walked ont of
court.
1t was not long, however, before she got
in trouble again, and the daughter once
more came to the front, and got an old
gentleman to go bail for her; finally she
was arrested for larceny and sent to the
penitentiary. Last week she turned up
again az hotel, and having run IN good
bill feicned suicide. She was in hopes of
being taken to the hospital in an ambulance
from whence escape would have been easy:
but the game was nipped in the bud by the
detectives, and she is now safely lodged in
jail. Her life reads like romance. Start
ing out simple country girl, beautiful and
accomplished, she captivated talented
young clergyman, and married him when
she was eighteen. Her love of admiration
and dress drove her to questionable means
Of raising money. till at last her conduct
became so fragrant, that she broke her hus-
bands heart and sent him to an early
grave. The dashing young widow then
started on a career of crime almost unpar-
alleled, and which will undoubtedly he TIE
means of sending her to prison for many
years TO come. She has trained her daugh-
ter in SIM and she, though young and
beautiful, is a second edition of her moth
er. The condition of this young girl is pit
iful. She knows no one but her mo her,
and has been the accomplice of all Of her
mothers questionable acts. How to saye
her is a problem which | hope some
good Chstian woman may be able to solve.
United LABOR has been knocked ont of
thirty thousand dollars of the city's funds.
r They claimed Sl2 election inspectors, every
man of whom would have received thirty
r seven dollars and fifty cents. They got
their certificates from johnny o Brien, but
: the judges refused to acknowledge them
they started a little row at the polling
| places; but after few arrests they gave in
so that neither Irving Hall nor Henry
George will be represented among the elec-
= tion inspectors; thereat there is weeping
: on election matters, Johnny O'Brien, a
= staunch Republican, has long been clerk OF
t the Election Board. The Office is good
: one-with much to get and little to do
y Now, there are plenty of good Democratic
e patriots who would be willing to serve theil
country in Johnny's place; but before they
can do that, it is necessary to get johnny
: out; ana right there comes the rub. Al
j last some eyil-minded Democrat suggested
i a civil service examination, ,andthey thought
:. limited that Johnny, although Judge o.
y elections, was no judge of Lindey Murray
Y or Goold Brown, anG that he was not ex
d actly sound on the three RS, but for feal
n that he might worry through--a series o.
It side questions were propounded, whicl
l. were intended to knock him higher than
e kite. Firstly: 'What is the density o
IS Jupiter nine thousand seven hundred anC
II sixty-three feet from the surface OF tha
Y orb? and ifa man fell down a hole of tha
e depth how would he feel when he strucl

it cows, one mule and six goats, how man,
e pounds of butter would the owner of tn,

d Thirdly: "If il takes Stanley six month
10 and twenty days and five hours and ift,

would his mission be accelerated or re
tarded by applying the Keely Eo-or? If 81

and he just made the wool fly on those ex
aminers. He tied them up in knots an,
rolled them over, and the result was tina
-, he came out first on the list. An enlhusi
